Roppongi Friends makes sense as a trio, don't know if they'd bring back Chuck so soon though. Or they could do War Machine & Cobb. There's an awful lot of regular, higher "priority" guys without a spot on the card though. Might as well make it a clusterfuck trios everywhere spotfest.

Don't give a fuck about how Jericho has slowed down in the ring. He is awesome.

Honestly, this version of the Jericho character just comes across as an older and slightly bitter version of his original cocky bastard character, with a couple of WWE catchphrases thrown in. I really enjoyed what happened during the Tag League final and the press conference after.

Yes since at the moment NJPW is not willing to have it on PPV outside of NJPW World. AXS TV will have a special replay of the event 2 days later though.
Only issue is if your going to buy a month of World, do it at the start of January and not this month to prevent getting billed twice within a month's span. They bill on the first of every month and not on the day you activate a subscription. |

Jericho is going to "deliver" in New Japan. It's a bit different in the WWE when you've been there for so long and half the things you are doing are for comedy.

Yeah, there's part of me that wonders how much he slowed down just because he can get away with it and is smart enough to realise that people are going to remember the festival of friendship more than a good match. Whereas in Japan, he match quality will be remembered.
Hell, if he goes all out, we'll see how glld DDP Yoga is! |

Might make a top 10 njpw matches thread, since there are people here grabbing nj world for wk12. Gonna have to rewatch a bunch of stuff to refresh my memory though.

I think the one knee code breaker looks better. Seems like with the other leg down it carries more force coming down, doesn't look as awkward to perform either.

Hell you could do top 10 matches of 2017 and it would tie into the WK12 interest. Alot of great match out of NJPW this year.

This KUSHIDA vs Desperado match is really good.
KUSHIDA deserves to be in the discussion for best wrestler in the world. Feel like he gets dismissed because he's a junior, but he's soooooooo good. Desperado channeling his buddy Zach and stretching the shit out of KUSHIDA. Mask spot was clever. Never seen a heel purposely take his mask off to buy time. Wow, great transition into the hoverboard lock. Even better transition into the finish. Great match. Zach vs Tana next. |

I was already interested in Cody/Ibushi, but I actually think there's even more intrigue behind it now that it's no longer for the ROH title. Didn't really see Ibushi taking the strap.
Also this means if they continue their recent history of shoehorning the ROH title onto the undercard, Dalton Castle will be at Wrestle Kingdom which would just be fantastic. Screw putting Yano in the inevitable 6-Man Title match, give me Yano vs. Castle. |

Well, they've gone the clusterfuck route for the NEVER 6-Man Belts. 5 team gauntlet:
Bullet Club (Fale and G.O.D) vs. Taguchi Japan (Taguchi, Juice, Makabe) vs. Suzuki-gun (ZSJ, Iizuka, Taichi) vs. Chaos (Yano, Ishii, Beretta) vs. Bearded White Guys (Elgin and War Machine) |

They've sold 30,000 tickets now. Last years attendance was 26,000 and they did a ton of business at the gate.

Kind of think it would be really cool if Jericho won the US strap. I feel like everyone is expecting an Omega win, but Jericho winning would throw everything into chaos. That's obviously if they can get him back for more dates, even if it is later in the year.

NJPW debuting a new game the day before Wrestle Kingdom 12 according to their fan event schedule.
Probably going to be another Japan-only mobile game like the past couple were.

Yeah, Jericho tends to do the unexpected as well. Like when he beat KO for the belt even though he was leaving.
